Have you ever seen something amazing, like a special group of stars? People in old times began to watch the stars long ago. They saw some stars always move in special groups. They thought these special groups of stars had some meanings and gave them names: constellations (星座). Astronomers (天文学家) in old times made star maps to help people remember where and when they could see different constellations. They saw that the stars seemed to move in the sky. In fact, the stars don’t move. It’s the Earth that moves. The turning Earth makes the stars look like they are moving. Because of this, we see different constellations in different seasons (季节). In winter, we can see some constellations, while in summer, we can see different ones. In old times, constellations were helpful to people in different ways. One way was to find their way when they were traveling. They looked for certain constellations, like the Big Dipper or Orion. Constellations also helped people understand the changing seasons. For example, when they saw the constellation Orion, they knew that winter was coming. This helped them prepare for colder weather. So, the next time you look up at the night sky, see if you can find some of the constellations. 42. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Ancient people. B. Some meanings. C. Interesting stories. D. Special groups of stars. 43. What information can we find in Paragraph 3? A. Why seasons change. B. How the Earth moves. C. Why the stars seem to move. D. How ancient people made star maps. 44. How does the writer explain that constellations were helpful to ancient people? A. By giving examples. B. By using numbers. C. By asking questions. D. By telling stories. 45. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? （①= Paragraph 1, ②= Paragraph 2. ） A. B. C. D. 46. Why did the writer write the passage? A. To tell the importance of the stars. B. To encourage people to be astronomers. C. To give the reasons for watching the stars. D. To give information about constellations. 【答案】42. D 43. C 44. A 45. C 46. D 【解析】 【导语】本文围绕星座展开，介绍其历史、科学原理及对古人的用途。 【42题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“They thought these special groups of stars had some meanings and gave them names: constellations (星座).”可知，他们认为这些特殊的恒星群有某种含义，并给它们起了名字：星座。所以划线词指代“特殊的恒星群”。故选D。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In fact, the stars don’t move... we see different constellations in different seasons (季节).”可知，星星看似移动是因为地球在自转，而非星星本身移动。所以从第三段我们可以发现为什么星星似乎在移动。故选C。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四、五段内容可知，这两段通过具体例子说明星座的用途，如北斗七星和猎户座帮助导航和判断季节。因此方法是通过举例。故选A。 【45题详解】 篇章结构题。根据文章内容可知，第一段引入话题——夜晚看星星；第二段介绍星座的起源和命名；第三段解释星星看似移动的原因；第四、五段说明星座的实用价值；第六段鼓励读者观察星座。故选C。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文围绕星座展开，介绍其历史、科学原理及对古人的用途，所以作者的目的是提供关于星座的信息。故选D。 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，从方框内所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Is there anything in your community that could be changed?

If you’re good at math or English, you could volunteer to be a homework helper at your school.…”可知，这些例子都是围绕“做自己擅长、喜欢做的志愿工作”展开。A选项“你可以志愿去做你喜欢做的事”符合语境，能很好地引出后文例子。故选A。 【51题详解】 根据文章最后一段“And you will always feel good.”可知，你会一直感觉良好。E选项“无论你作为志愿者做什么，你的时光都会是愉快的”符合语境，先表明做志愿时光愉快，再进一步说会感觉良好，存在逻辑上的递进，同时也能概括做志愿的积极体验。故选E。 三、短文填空（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读短文，从方框中选择适当的词并用其正确形式填空，使短文通顺、意思完整。每空限填一词，每词限用一次。 since good ask filled with grade they fall one develop Nowadays, we often see many children only care about their studies.

Since 59. first 60. fell 61. better 【解析】 【导语】本文主要阐述了孩子们不应只关注学习，还应学会做家务以培养独立性，这对他们的未来很重要。 【52题详解】 句意：他们的日子充满了上学、做作业和上额外的课。根据“be...with”的固定搭配以及语境中“日子被各种事情占据”的含义，备选词filled“充满”符合语境，构成“be filled with”结构。故填filled。 【53题详解】 句意：然而，我认为孩子们学习做家务和帮助父母做家务是很重要的。“help...with sth.”是固定短语，表示“帮助某人做某事”，备选词with符合语境。故填with。 【54题详解】 句意：仅仅在学校取得好成绩是不够的。根据前文“only care about their studies”以及“get good...”的搭配，此处表示“成绩”，备选词grade“成绩”需用复数形式grades。故填grades。 【55题详解】 句意：他们总是问：“你能把这个给我吗？”或者“你能帮我做那个吗？”根据语境中孩子们的提问内容以及“are always...”的结构，此处需用现在进行时表示反复的动作，备选词ask“问”的现在分词形式asking符合语境。故填asking。 【56题详解】 句意：做家务有助于培养孩子的独立性，并教会他们如何照顾自己。根据“...children’s independence”的搭配，此处表示“培养独立性”，备选词develop“培养；发展”符合语境，且help to后接动词原形。故填develop。 【57题详解】 句意：做家务有助于培养孩子的独立性，并教会他们如何照顾自己。根据“look after...”的搭配，此处指代“孩子们自己”，备选词they“他们”的反身代词themselves“他们自己”符合语境。故填themselves。 【58题详解】 句意：既然他们和父母住在一个房子里，他们应该知道每个人都应该尽自己的一份力保持房子干净整洁。根据前后句的因果逻辑关系，此处表示“既然；由于”，备选词since“既然”符合语境，句首首字母大写。故填Since。 【59题详解】 句意：我们邻居的儿子考上了一所好大学，但在他第一年，他不知道如何照顾自己。根据“...year”以及语境中“大学第一年”的含义，备选词one“一”的序数词形式first“第一”符合语境。故填first。 【60题详解】 句意：结果，他经常生病，不能去上课。根据“ill”以及固定搭配“fall ill”表示“生病”，由前文“got into”可知句子时态为一般过去时，备选词fall的过去式fell符合语境。故填fell。 【61题详解】 句意：孩子越早学会独立，对他们的未来就越好。根据“the+比较级，the+比较级”的固定结构，表示“越……，越……”，备选词good“好的”的比较级better符合语境。故填better。 四、读写结合。（共两节，满分25分） 第一节 任务型阅读（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，用英文填空或回答问题（请注意每小题的词数要求）。 A little girl walked to and from school everyday.

For example, my parents never allow me to go out with my friends at night. They don’t allow me to choose my own clothes, either. And they pay too much attention to my exam results. What’s more, they even ask me to do some housework for them though I want to take a rest on weekend. I think my parents don’t quite understand me. However, I try my best to understand them and solve our problems. Although they don’t allow me to make my own decisions and give me too much pressure, I know that it is because they really love me and want me to have a bright future. For the reason that good communication can make family relationships stronger I study hard, listen to them, talk to them as friends, tell them my troubles, and help them do more housework. This way, I believe we can solve problems together and create a happier family. 【解析】 【详解】[总体分析] ①题材：本文是一篇材料作文； ②时态：时态为“一般现在时”； ③提示：根据提示内容进行写作，可适当增添细节，注意行文连贯，表述完整。 [写作步骤] 第一步，介绍与父母之间的问题； 第二步，表达自己的观点； 第三步，介绍自己如何与父母保持良好的关系。 [亮点词汇] ①pay too much attention to过分关注 ②take a rest休息 ③what’s more此外 [高分句型] ①What’s more, they even ask me to do some housework for them though I want to take a rest on weekend.

This article is probably from ________. A. a guide book B. a newspaper C. a story D. an advertisement B After listening to Mr. Jason’s advice, Andrew decided to have a try... There are some problems between my mother and me. In the past, she always pushed me to be good at everything. I felt very tired of that. But when I started to share my opinions with her, things changed. I understood that the reason for pushing me was that she wanted me to take good care of myself in the future, I also told her that I needed more rest. Finally, we found the best way to solve this problem—to cut down some of my activities. As our relationship improved, my mother became my friend. When she was tired after working for a long time, I always told her some interesting things that happened at school to help her relax. My mother encouraged me a lot when I faced problems. Last month I was seriously ill and could not go to school. My grades dropped a lot. However, my mother didn’t blame (责怪) me but helped me with my studies. Finally, my grades improved a lot. After the tests, I used my pocket money to buy a cake for her. The good grades were not only mine but also hers. Now I have learned how important communication is. If we stop arguing and start to communicate with others, we can surely make a difference to our lives. 37. What was the best way to solve the problem between Andrew and his mother? A.

Have you ever seen something amazing, like a special group of stars? People in old times began to watch the stars long ago. They saw some stars always move in special groups. They thought these special groups of stars had some meanings and gave them names: constellations (星座). Astronomers (天文学家) in old times made star maps to help people remember where and when they could see different constellations. They saw that the stars seemed to move in the sky. In fact, the stars don’t move. It’s the Earth that moves. The turning Earth makes the stars look like they are moving. Because of this, we see different constellations in different seasons (季节). In winter, we can see some constellations, while in summer, we can see different ones. In old times, constellations were helpful to people in different ways. One way was to find their way when they were traveling. They looked for certain constellations, like the Big Dipper or Orion. Constellations also helped people understand the changing seasons. For example, when they saw the constellation Orion, they knew that winter was coming. This helped them prepare for colder weather. So, the next time you look up at the night sky, see if you can find some of the constellations. 42. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Ancient people. B. Some meanings. C. Interesting stories. D. Special groups of stars. 43. What information can we find in Paragraph 3? A. Why seasons change. B. How the Earth moves. C. Why the stars seem to move. D. How ancient people made star maps. 44. How does the writer explain that constellations were helpful to ancient people? A. By giving examples. B. By using numbers. C. By asking questions. D. By telling stories. 45. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? （①= Paragraph 1, ②= Paragraph 2. ） A. B. C. D. 46. Why did the writer write the passage? A. To tell the importance of the stars. B. To encourage people to be astronomers. C. To give the reasons for watching the stars. D. To give information about constellations. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，从方框内所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Is there anything in your community that could be changed?
